The Very Normal Reason Why Kate Middleton Cut Her Hair

Kate Middleton’s hair is, to use a very apt pun, her crowning glory. The royal’s signature blowdry has been copied far and wide, and the fringe she adopted in September did nothing but enhance her modern-but-regal look further. Not one to reinvent her hair on the regular (if it ain't broke...), we thought we’d seen the last of Middleton’s strand shakeups for a while. Not so—the royal is the latest to go and get herself a sophisticated lob.

According to People, her new shoulder-grazing haircut might have more to do with being a busy working mother than anything else. See? She’s practical, just like us. Middleton’s hairdresser Richard Ward described the chop as: “A practical style and a great option for a mum who has had long hair, who has a busy life and is short on time.” We’re guessing her fresh ‘do was intended to ease Middleton’s busy schedule—like all lobs, it’d certainly cut down on styling time.
